Elsa and Anna rode out at a trot through the castle gates. Soon, the scenery transformed from the familiar territory of Arendelle to the semi familiar territory of the woods. The last time either of them had seen these woods, it was covered in snow and ice from Elsa's panic at the ball. The two sisters were now riding at a canter, and slowly approached the impasse.
Anna craned her neck, "That's a long way down."
Elsa nodded "Yes, it is. So what happened the last time you were here?"
"Sven had to jump over because we were being chased by a pack of wolves," the fire princess responded, "and Kristoff's sleigh got smashed to bits."
Elsa nodded absentmindedly, and the sisters stopped their horses. Elsa angled her horse so that she was looking at Anna if she looked foward, and at the impasse if she looked to her left. She moved her hands in the direction of the impasse and ice crystals shot out of her hands, making a slanted bridge made of snow. Underneath the snow was ice.
"Elsa?" Anna questioned, sweeping a lock of fire red hair out of her eyes, "what are you doing?"
"Making a bridge" was Elsa's reply. Her horse stepped on the bridge and quickly crossed, Anna's horse doing the same thing.
Soon enough they reached the place where the trolls lived. "Pappie," Elsa called, "we need your help."
The "rocks" rolled out of their rock form and became the trolls they both knew. Then they parted and the troll known as Pappie rolled up to them. "What has happened?" The elder troll asked.
"It's Anna." Elsa exclaimed, jumping down from her horse, "She...I don't know what's happening! She suddenly has fire magic!"
The trolls looked to Anna, who's had a worried expression on her face. Pabbie stepped forward, "I suppose that it is time you knew. You and Elsa are polar opposites of one another. One weilding the power of lava and fire, the other, ice and snow."
Both sister's jaws dropped, "I... had fire powers all along?" Anna asked.
"When you hit her with your ice magic," Pabbie reminded Elsa, "it froze her fire magic. Your strike to her heart, and her act of true love thawed her frozen heart, and the restriction on her powers."
Elsa blinked, "So that's the logical exclamation behind this... but were our parents born with these powers?"
Pabbie nodded and bowed his head, "Yes, that is correct."
"But why now? Why... why are they only appearing now?" Anna asked, twirling a loose strand of fire red hair.
Pabbie looked at her, "When you were thawed, your fire powers unlocked. However, and I don't know why, you could not use your powers, could not TRULY use them, until your birthday had come and passed. Your week long fever 2 days after your birthday allowed your powers to manifest and grow, and your magic had built up to the point where you had to release it immediately upon awakening again."
"Oh...that explains my magic that shot out of my hand," Anna said. "Thank you so much, Pabbie."
The elder troll nodded and Anna clicked her tounge, signaling her ash black horse to walk foward. Elsa mounted her horse as well, kicking the white mare's side, and the two sisters trotted away.
AN: I know you guys have been anticipating the other series I wrote so I will give you a choice: should I update Fire and Ice or start on the multichapter fanfiction of the war between the changlings and the ponies? The fanfic will be called Contention. PM me!
